LET ME INTO YOUR HEART (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
———————————————-
[Actually in C; capo 5.]
[Each chord is two beats.]
G C G C G C G C
[intro]
G C G C
You’re like a cool breeze to a hot spell
G C G C
You’re like a long drink to a dry well
C C C C
Oh I know by now, there’s no use thinking
G C G C
That it’s something in that water I’ve been drinking
D D D7 D7
Cause I would not need even one more drop
G C G C
If you’d just let me into your heart
You’re like a blue sky to a gray day
You’re like a new try to an old way
Oh, I never needed much convincing
‘Bout that something in my life that’s been missing
But I think I know where to find that part
If you’d just let me into your heart
C C G G
I’ve got a past baby, now who doesn’t
C C G G
I won’t ask you to think that I wasn’t
Em Em Em Em
Who I was back then, yes it’s true
A A D7 D7
But that was when I didn’t know you
You’re like a sweet sight to these tired eyes
You’re like the first light after a long night
Oh I never believed in the hands of fate
But to be with you, baby, I believe I’d wait
Till the end of time for a chance to start
If you’d just let me into your heart
C C G G C C G G

G [stop] (C) G C
You’re like a sweet smile to these tired eyes
G C G C
You’re like the last mile on a long ride
C C C#dim C#dim [you can sub A7 for C#dim]
Oh I never believed in the arms of fate
G G/F# Em Em
But to be in yours darling, I believe I’d wait
D D D7 D7
Till the end of time for a chance to start
G C G C
If you’d just let me into your heart
D D D D
Till the end of time, baby I can start
G C G C
If you’d just let me into your heart
G C G C G C G C G C G.
